New Delhi: A day after Tata Group Chairman Ratan Tata's stated he was not comfortable with bribing for getting into airline business years ago, the government today assured it was committed to transparency in any project. "We need more transparency. I think the government is committed to that," Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh told reporters when asked about Tata's comments. Emphasising the use of Right to Information Act, Deshmukh said one gets any information through RTI on anything that goes wrong. Yesterday Tata had stated in Dehradun that he did not enter the airline business as he was not comfortable with the idea of bribing Rs 15 crore to a minister, as had been suggested by an industrialist. On the occasion Deshmukh conferred the Maharatna certificates to ONGC, NTPC, IOC and SAIL and Navaratna certificates to RINL and Oil India.
